Hi all,
I'm a blind rail user who uses a screen reader to navigate web sites.
I'm trying to make a delay repay claim with London Northwestern and am finding that their form is totally inaccessible to screen reader users.
Just wondered if there are any fellow blind or partially sighted forum users who have experience of the delay repay process - either good or bad.
It appears each TOC has their own form, and some seem far better than others. LNR appear to use a third party supplier for theirs.
I realise I could ask a sighted person to fill in the form for me, but in this day and age of equality I shouldn't have to do this.
I should add that I work for a company who has to build web sites for local government and making sure they are accessible is a very hot topic these days, so I would have hoped that the same standards of accessibility would apply to the rail industry.
I also want to give a shout out to all those forum posters who take the time to describe images that they post - it really does make a difference to people like me and makes these forums a very inclusive place.
Thanks,
John
